| Reverse description | Four crowned cruciform shields bearing the arms of England, Scotland, France, and Hanover, arranged symmetrically around a central Garter star. The divided date appears in the upper angles between the shields, while a Latin legend encircles the entire design. The composition reflects the heraldic conventions of the early 18th-century British coinage and acknowledges the king's dual role as British monarch and Elector of the Holy Roman Empire. Multiple varieties exist across the issue years, distinguished by minor differences in the shield arrangement and legend spacing. |
